8.4. Display
To display a list of bugs we start by clicking on the 'Bug Tracking' option in the main menu. This will bring is to a search screen where we can choose to enter a new bug (using the 'new' option in the upper left part of the menu) or search (or do an extended search) for already stored bugreports. Both screens are shown here.
The bugreport search screen
The bugreport extended search screen
As you can see in the extended search screen, it is very easy to search for all the bugreports assigned to the current user or who have a particular state.
When we simply click on the search button without entering additional information we are presented with a list of stored bugreports as shown in the next picture.
The bugreport list screen
As you can see there are a number of columns with information. Coincidentally the first column now shows both methods of tagging individual bugreports. One is the method where every bugreport gets a consecutive number. The second method is more customizable and currently is set to use the current date (year and month) and a unique sequence number. Clicking on the id number will get you to bugreport details screen (where you could optionally choose to 'modify' it). Clicking on the reference will get you to the related project (or installation for that matter).
As you can see there is also the familiar set of checkboxes to the right with which you can change a number of bugreports simultaneously. Note that there is no checkbox in the second row because we reassigned that one to user Bill Gates. The actions you can do with the marked bugreports are the following:
do nothing: well, er.. how do I explain this one...?
Delete: Delete this bugreport from the system.
set Class to light: to set the class of this bug to light.
set Class to heavy: to set the class of this bug to heavy.
set Class to dangerous: to set the class of this bug to dangerous.
set Class to suggestion: to set the class of this bug to suggestion.
set State to OPEN: to set the state of this bug to open.
set State to IN PROGRESS: to set the state of this bug to in progress.
set State to SOLVED: to set the state of this bug to solved.
set State to CLOSED: to set the state of this bug to closed.
After selecting the required action click on the 'OK' button to confirm. After doing the work requested you are brought back to this screen.
